Engineer II Special Processes

The Engineer II Special Processes is a hands-on technical role responsible for supporting the development, qualification, and industrialization of aerospace special processes for Powertech s propulsion programs, including turbofan, microjet, and piston engines. This role focuses on technical execution and support, contributing to special process development and qualification for rotating, structural, and hot-section engine components in a greenfield manufacturing environment. RESPONSIBILITIES • Support the development, qualification, and continuous improvement of aerospace special processes for rotating, structural, and hot-section engine components. • Apply hands-on knowledge of special process technologies such as shot peening, thermal spray coatings (HVOF, plasma spray, wear-resistant and environmental coatings), heat treatment, vacuum heat treatment, solution treatment, aging, and stress relief, brazing, surface preparation and grit blasting, cleaning, and chemical processing. • Support creation and maintenance of manufacturing routings, process specifications, work instructions, and control plans. • Assist with process validation activities including FAI, capability studies, and industrial qualification. • Support statistical monitoring and data collection to ensure stable and repeatable process performance. NPI & Production Support • Support New Product Introduction (NPI) activities from prototype build through production readiness. • Support production ramp-up, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement activities. • Assist in resolving special process issues related to quality, cost, and delivery. • Support root cause investigations and corrective actions related to process performance and quality escapes. Design-to-Manufacture Support • Participate in concurrent engineering activities with design teams. • Provide manufacturing feedback during design reviews to improve manufacturability, coating requirements, and process robustness. • Support tolerance analysis, process selection, and material trade studies. Supplier & Shop-Floor Support • Support technical interactions with external special process suppliers and partners. • Assist with supplier process reviews, part qualification, and issue resolution. • Provide shop-floor support during process development, trials, and production builds. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS • Bachelor s or Master s degree in Mechanical, Materials, Aerospace, or Manufacturing Engineering. • 5+ years of experience in aerospace or propulsion manufacturing. • Strong hands-on expertise at least two or more of the following aerospace special process technologies: shot peening, thermal spray coatings, heat treatment, brazing, chemical processing. • Experience supporting NPI, prototype builds, or production environments. • Practical, detail-oriented approach with strong problem-solving skills. • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, greenfield manufacturing environment. • Working knowledge of aerospace materials including titanium alloys, nickel-based superalloys, stainless steels, and aluminum alloys. • Exposure to aerospace quality systems and special process qualification methodologies, including NADCAP requirements, is desirable. • Understanding of process documentation, traceability, and configuration control practices. • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to support shop-floor issue resolution. • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, greenfield manufacturing environment with evolving processes. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS • Master s degree in Mechanical, Materials, Aerospace, or Manufacturing Engineering. • 7+ years of experience in aerospace or propulsion manufacturing.
